Display of current zoom level, like (z14) #73
Comments
About the maximum zoom: sure, why not. The only problem could be that you're taking many many more tile images over the network and (hopefully) saving them in your tile cache, so it will eat more traffic and storage space. But you've deliberately chosen that when you setup the map source so I guess that's ok. I think I'll keep the default mapnik maximum where it is though, even though it could also go higher. Second suggestion about the z-level: I guess this is just a simple extension of the method "getScaleText", right? Sure, I'll be glad to take the code! If some people find it useful and others don't, then we need a way of switching it on and off, so is that switch in the Settings -> Set display options dialog (with a default of off), or does the toggle button at the top of the map change from a two-position toggle (scale bar on / scale bar off) to a three-way switch (scale bar / no scale bar / scale bar + zoom indicator)? What do you think? |
I will only respond to one topic per post. "About the maximum zoom..." I will download more tiles only when the map in question exists at a zoom level of 21 or 22. To work on certain tracks, I need a high level of zoom to be very precise. I think that increasing the maximum possible in the dialog box does not change anything for the cards which anyway do not allow a higher level. |
"Second suggestion about the z-level" "I guess this is just a simple extension of the method "getScaleText", right? Yes "Sure, I'll be glad to take the code!" how to send it to you? By email ? "I guess it's because you're doing some work on the maps themselves" Yes, and the habit because of other software that I use. "If some people find it useful and others don't... What do you think?" I think it would be better than what I did very quickly, but it's hard for me to modify this code that I don't know, so I made the easiest for me! |
PS : I also have a suggestion for you to improve the accuracy of the altimetry (better resolution, 5 meters or less).. Would you be interested in discussing this? By email ? Best regards, |
It sounds like you're pretty much just agreeing with what I wrote earlier, so that should be no problem. |
Sure, by email is fine, or just paste it here - I guess it's just a line or two.
That's fine, I wasn't asking you to modify the code, I was just asking how you imagine that the control of showing the z-level would ideally work for you. Display settings dialog from the menu or toggle button on the map? Save in settings to remember for next time or not? Apart from the question whether this should appear next to the scalebar or in the status bar or somewhere else, is it obvious that "z" means zoom level to everybody? What about those working in languages in which the word for zoom doesn't begin with z? If the "other software that you use" also shows this, then maybe you can tell me which software that is, so I can judge how popular the feature might be? Where else have you seen this, how is it shown, and how do they call it? |
Yes of course I'm interested, if you have something that's even better than the 1-second SRTM approach. We can discuss here, or you can open a separate issue for it, or we can discuss by email if you prefer. |
About z-level (surely not the best programming, but it's the first time I'm coding in Java... ;-)
|
About altimetry, send by email... |
Absolutely nothing wrong with your java :) |
how to switch it on and off May be with the scalebar button, with three states : off, scale-bar, scale-bar+ z-level ? |
yes, that was one of my suggestions in my earlier comment: #73 (comment) Your example from Cartograph is interesting, but fairly different from your proposal for GpsPrune. You haven't seen any other software adding something like "(z14)" on the scalebar?
It begins with a z in a surprisingly high number of languages, but not all.
Yes, answered by email. Issue #46 also discusses altitude data. |
I renamed the issue, as the original title "Max zoom for maps" has been addressed. |
Hello,
Some maps (for example, Google satellite) are available at a max zoom level more than 20.
So, I suggest increasing the max zoom value in "AddMapSourceDialog.java" in this way (22 in place of 20):
Compiled and tested, it works like I want with Google maps.
And a suggestion : possibility to display the active zoom level, near the scale for example.
Best regards
